Ward Bayou Wildlife Management Area

Hands down the most amazing hotel I have ever stayed at. We came down for the first day of Jazz Fest and this property just made our trip spectacular. Everything was great I don’t even know where to begin, from the location, the property, the room, to check in/check out. There are so many pros, this is going to be our forever property whenever we come down to NOLA. Location: this was the cherry on top, when I say everything is walking distance I mean everything. Pack some good walking shoes, our car stayed parked in the parking lot the whole trip. We walked back from Jazz Fest(Ubers/traffic was a nightmare everywhere so we decided to walk back and made it safely) we walked down to Ruby Slipper Cafe for breakfast/brunch and grabbed some coffee and pastries down at Ayu Bakehouse( highly recommend both in your visit) Buffa’s across the street for some drinks and live music. -Room: BOOK THE FRENCHMAN SUITE!!! DO IT! HUGE, Clean, the best A/C I have had at any hotel, amazing bathroom/ shower, it was like our own little NOLA apartment, we felt right at home. -Staff was so friendly and kind from check in to check out. -Area was nice, quiet and safe! If you want to be near everything but appreciate your sleep, this is the PLACE!! Just book it, it is definitely worth every penny and more! Melrose Mansion has a customer for life.

Amazing Staff! Great hotel, right in the mix.

No mini bar. Clean hotel and beautiful lobby. Room was a little old and smelled musty
